Accessibility¶

Web accessibility is essential to create inclusive apps and services, and it's an integral part of our Symfony Diversity initiative. With much help from an accessibility expert, Sandra, we have made the Bootstrap 4 from theme compliant with the WCAG 2.0 standard.

The standard includes rules and guidelines to make content accessible for users with disabilities, including impaired vision, learning disabilities, limited movement and learning disabilities.

Custom forms¶

The form theme now supports Bootstrap 4 custom forms, which allow to replace the default browser form elements.

Labels and Errors¶

In addition to minor tweaks and fixes, form errors are now rendered inside the <label> element to make sure there is a strong connection between the error and its <input>, as required by the WCAG 2.0 standard.

Documentation¶

We're working on a new documentation article about Bootstrap 4 and Symfony. You can check the current proposal and suggest improvements or new contents.

How does it look¶

And this is how it looks when the form displays error messages:
